¹¹ Rescue those being led away to death;
    hold back those staggering toward slaughter.^(A)

¹² If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,”
    does not he who weighs^(A) the heart perceive it?
Does not he who guards your life know it?
    Will he not repay^(B) everyone according to what they have done?^(C)

¹ Blessed is the one^(A)
    who does not walk^(B) in step with the wicked^(C)
or stand in the way^(D) that sinners take^(E)
    or sit^(F) in the company of mockers,^(G)
2 but whose delight^(H) is in the law of the Lord,^(I)
    and who meditates^(J) on his law day and night.
³ That person is like a tree^(K) planted by streams^(L) of water,^(M)
    which yields its fruit^(N) in season
and whose leaf^(O) does not wither—
    whatever they do prospers.^(P)
